Woke up to this magical sunrise at 6:30am and couldn’t resist capturing it. 🌅 The sky was on fire with vibrant colors and wispy clouds! 😍

“What do you think of this Lego Batmobile shot? 📸 I usually avoid white backgrounds, but this time it felt necessary. 🤔

Good gourd, gourd, gourd! 🎃 The Great Pumpkin King strikes again! 👑 I’ve been on a scanning spree, and this time, I’ve turned my attention to the vegetable kingdom. 🥦🥕 This pumpkin was chosen for its long stem and intricate details, and I’m curious to see how the Polycam will capture it all. 📸 Once we prime and paint this print, it’s going to be a real showstopper! 🎨✨

Origami meets 3D scanning! 🤯 I’ve been wanting to combine my love for paper folding with tech, and this little crane is the result. Scanning paper was trickier than I thought, but with some patience and Blender magic, I got it done. Can’t wait to see what other origami creations I can bring to life in 3D!

I recently revisited my Starfire action figure and decided to give it a fresh look. While I enjoyed experimenting with Photoshop, I found it a bit tricky to isolate the figure from the background.

Shoutout to Pixlr! Their background removal tool was a lifesaver, making the process super easy. I also used it to layer the figure and background seamlessly.

Microsoft Designer did a great job with the lettering, but I’m not convinced it’s worth the subscription fee.

I’m still on a learning curve, but I’m excited to keep improving my editing skills.

Brainiac, the latest addition to my collection, courtesy of Ross! While this version of Superman wouldn’t have crossed paths with him, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to recreate this iconic scene. 💥 The first shot is the final version, while the second is a quick setup using only natural light from the window. Had to adjust the tentacles a bit to avoid overwhelming the frame. 🛠️

It’s been a while since I’ve folded some paper at work, but I realized I did an origami program for our Harry Potter Book Day back in October! 📚✨ It feels like ages ago, but origami has always been my go-to stress relief.

The quiet focus of folding paper and following each step helps me zone out and relax. 🧘‍♂️ With the library closed on Monday, why not celebrate Origami Day?

Tip: Learn from videos! It’s much easier to follow along visually. Keep practicing the same design until you’ve got it down.

Even though I’ve been folding since 2009, I still had to relearn the steps! 🙈 But it feels good to get back into it. Here’s to better days and more origami!

3 of 3. I’m really liking this pose for my Superman edit. The cape draping, especially with the added air current effect, really sells the flying motion. I’ve also cleaned up the wires and added some color to the face.

Let me know what you think!

2 of 3. Removing the wires in this edit was definitely trickier than the first. The lighter center and darker edges made it tough to just color over the wires with one color. I did my best to accurately select the wire sections and paint them out.

Overall, I’m happy with the collar fix, pose, and facial color. 🎨 Just noticed a little white spot on Superman’s hair, but I’ll tackle that another time.
